I bought this to scale down from and replace my Yamaha N8 eight channel board. After initial problems with pops and dropouts, I got it to work perfectly by setting it to 192kHz recording with a 256 buffer. I use it to do singer / songwriter multitrack recordings of vocals, bass, electric guitar, the output of my stage piano, etc. The pre amps are not as good as the N8, but... For this price they are absolutely clear! I am very sattisfied with this interface. I owned several others, from Tascam, Yamaha and also the Focusrite 2i2 1st gen. and this 2i4 2nd gen is absolutely pristine compared to those. The MIDI ports are very usable with my hammer action stage piano. I can call any VST synth and play with 5 to 7 miliseconds of latency. Its almost not noticable.

Pros: pristine clean sound with any instrument, ultra low latency, 192kHz, MIDI ports, second set of outputs, very nice LED metering around the input knobs, Great design and looks,

Cons: the supplied USB cable was crap, I replaced it with a very descent certified USB cable. Only will work in 192kHz (no problem for me) Still no 1 or 2 milliseconds latency as promised. The 6.4 ms I get is still very nice.

Overall, weather you are looking for your first audio interface for your home studio, or you are a well seasoned pro looking for an extra set of inputs, you can not go wrong with the Scarlett range. Those who plan to use MIDI should consider the 2i4 or higher, for its integrated MIDI ports. If you have a lot more money to burn and high demands, you might want to go upmarket to RME or other premium brands.
